In other words, they're the reason I quit giving to the Republican party and now only give to individual candidates.
I hope your pockets are deep my FRiend...Akin’s going to need a whole lot...
“This is the same NRSC that endorsed Charlie Crist over Marco Rubio.
In other words, they’re the reason I quit giving to the Republican party and now only give to individual candidates.”
But if the NRSC won’t spend a dime on the MO Senate race, McCaskill will be reelected. Akin can’t raise enough money on his own, particularly now that he will be eschewed by nearly all national conservative groups.
Akin’s a good man, and would have made a fine senator, but he cannot win, not after what he said. This is exactly how Fay Boozman lost a 1998 U.S. Senate race in Arkansas that was his to lose. He should drop out for the good of the nation, and find another way to contribute to the conservative movement.
Even a broken clock is right twice a day.

Yes, that’s the reason I take that (individual candidates) approach. My decision to do that pre-dated the Rubio-Christ race. It went back to when the NRC intervened in a Congressional primary race (between a big-time RINO and a true-conservative primary). The RINO had plenty of national Republican money to slime and tell lies about his challenger. The RINO lost the primary and went on to endorse and campaign for the Democrat in the race. The Democrat won in a close race in the general. Two years later the same true conservative came back to defeat that Democrat and restore “balance to the universe”. The national Republican establishment later did the same in New York state with similar results.
The national Republican groups continue to barrage my family with phone calls and mail despite our repeated (and patient) calm explanations of why they’ll never see another penny from us. That could change of course should a miracle occur and they change their ways. It sure doesn’t look like it.
